36th Street


Thirty-Sixth Street extends from the Delaware River south, crossing River Road to Federal Street. Following the standard convention for numbered streets in Camden, it is North 36th Street above Federal, and South 36th Street below Federal.

North 36th Street serves as Camden’s northern border with Pennsauken Township at various points along its length, leading to some inconsistency in street numbering on the north side of North 36th Street. This arises because Pennsauken utilizes a four-digit street numbering system, which differs from Camden’s street numbering system. Thirty-Sixth Street became a part of Camden when Stockton Township merged with Camden in 1899. The street had been laid out many years earlier and was referred to as Cove Avenue in Pennsauken until the 1890s.
